Livingstone makes fifty as Seconds go two from two

Liam Livingstone scored a quickfire half century in the second of two Second XI T20 matches against Leicestershire at Westhoughton yesterday (Wednesday 24 July).

The 25-year-old scored 59 off 33 balls to lead a chase of 132 to secure a second win of the day.

Livingstone's knock contained five fours and four sixes as Lancashire recovered from 36/4 to ease home with 16 balls remaining.

Owais Shah (25) provided middle order support for the opener before Rob Jones (19*) helped Chris Benbow's side over the line.

Chris Sanders (3/21) was the pick of the bowlers as Leicestershire made 131/7 from 20 overs. Sanders' haul included a sensational catch by wicket-keeper George Lavelle, removing top-scorer Ateeq Javid for 64.
